Stariji pas, koji je proveo više od 700 dana u skloništu, konačno je pronašao dom.
Predivna priča stiže iz Teksasa. Umirovljenica Jeanette Finch-Walton udomila je psa koji je dugo vremena proveo u skloništu i svojom pričom želi potaknuti i druge da udome starije pse. Azil Austin Pets Alive otkrio je da je Jeanette htjela starijeg psa koji ne zahtijeva previše tjelesne aktivnosti.
Star je i bolestan
Zaposlenici su je odmah upoznali s Belugom, 10-godišnjim mješancem koji ima artritis i još neke druge zdravstvene probleme. Umirovljenica i stariji pas odmah su kliknuli. Promijenila mu je ime u Velcro, što na engleskom jeziku znači "čičak".
"Stariji psi zaslužuju ljubav. Vraćaju vam ljubav možda i više od mlađih pasa. Velcro je mene izabrao, a ne ja njega", rekla je. Azil je na svojim društvenim mrežama objavio snimku na kojoj se vlasnica igra sa svojim psom u dvorištu. Ta je snimka skupila milijun pregleda i raznježila je mnoge.
@austinpetsalive This video is just a snippet of a story of two souls looking for their perfect match. When you #AmplifyLifesaving, you pave the path for pets like Beluga and his new guardian to meet. There’s just 8 hours left to help us reach our $250,000 goal! We’re 65% of the way there–can you help us get to 75% before noon? Find the link to donate in our bio and read on to learn how the stars aligned for this duo. Velcro, FKA Beluga, is a 10-year-old senior dog who had searched for a loving home since 2022. With his older age came some arthritis and an unknown background likely contributed to some trust issues and progressive neurological/musculoskeletal challenges. His ideal home would be slow paced, just like him! And come with a patient and understanding human. He wasn’t the only one looking for a companion; Jeanette recently lost her two senior pups and was ready to open her home to another senior pet in need. At 75 years young, she needed a low-energy dog to share her home with and spoil to her heart's content. Soon after meeting, Jeanette welcomed Velcro into her home under foster care with the intention of adopting. The foster-to-adopt process allows both APA! and the foster parent to help the dog acclimate to a new environment by providing at-home behavior consults and lifelong adoption support. Jeanette hopes her adoption story will encourage other people to not overlook special needs and senior dogs. “They deserve love and they give as much as they get,” she stated. “They respond to love just as well, if not more than younger dogs. Velcro has adopted me… he has chosen me.” Each year, thousands of at-risk animals come into our care, many of which have been deemed “unadoptable” due to behavioral or health challenges. We work to provide pets like Beluga with available resources to enhance their quality of life and prepare them for life outside of the shelter–because we know there are people out there that need them just as much. #austinpetsalive #austin #texas #austintx #shelterdog #dog #dogsoftiktok #happytail #adopt #adopted #adopteddogs #adopteddogsoftiktok #seniordog ♬ Little Things - Adrian Berenguer
